Key Solution Capabilities
Features in Acronis® vmProtect™ 8
- Efficient, Secure Backup: Options for excluding files, built-in deduplication, simultaneous backup, compression, and backup verification ensure optimal use of storage and memory resources and prevents unauthorized access.
- vmFlashBack: When restoring a backup over an original virtual machine, Acronis vmProtect 8 copies only blocks that have been changed.
- Rapid Recovery of VMs: Simply run the VM from its backup for fast recovery without having to perform full restore. Recover images, individual files, or Microsoft Exchange items.
- Staging /multi-destination: Acronis vmProtect 8 may automatically copy allotted backups to an additional location, locally or to the cloud.
- Compression and built-in deduplication: Removes unnecessary data from the backup and reduces the amount of storage required for the backup file.
- Replication: Create and incrementally update a copy of your virtual machine on another host for faster recovery in case disaster strikes.
- Recovery of Microsoft Exchange items: Recover an entire Microsoft Exchange Server database or individual items.
- Disaster Recovery Plan: Automatically creates documentation of the steps to recover.
- VMware® vCenter™ Integration: Perform backup and recovery tasks from vCenter.
- Bare Metal Recovery: Your entire VMware ESXi v5 or v4.1 host can be recovered to another machine, even if dissimilar to source machine.
- Intuitive Web-Based User Interface: Remotely perform all tasks from anywhere using just a Web browser. The dashboard view, alerts, and email notifications keep you informed of the status. (Or manage Acronis vmProtect 8 rom VMware vCenter).
- Optimized for VMware: Leverages VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) for agentless, LAN-free backup and recovery. Changed Block Tracking (CBT) reduces traffic on LAN and load on ESX(i) hosts.

- Capacity Planning: Proactively monitor, predict, detect and troubleshoot capacity bottlenecks; determine optimal virtual machine placement; explore what-if scenarios; identify capacity shortfalls; and efficiently budget and plan for new purchases.
- Performance Monitoring: Proactively monitor virtualization health indicators to predict problems before they happen. Analyze storage I/O problems, troubleshoot application and workload issues, and discover and act on performance issues using flexible alerts optimized for your VMware environment.
- VM Sprawl Control: Find idle/stale VMs, zombie VMs, orphaned files, and over-allocated VMs. Reduce the amount of data and low value VMs that are backed up.
- Configuration Management: Track virtual machine and host configurations over time and determine if your virtual environment configuration is drifting from the gold standard enhanced with our Time Travel view of configuration changes.
- Chargeback Automation: Easy-to-use chargeback/showback reporting and evaluate the cost of moving virtual workloads to the cloud.
- Integration with SolarWinds Storage Manager: Virtualization Manager integrates with SolarWinds Storage Manager, allowing you to go beyond the datastore stats, to the LUN and ultimately the disk level stats to provide full VM-to-spindle visibility
